Lord of the Rings series (even if Peter Jackson should be hanged without trial for not including Tom Bombadil 😠 )

You betray yourself ...

1. The big Lebowski
Funniest film ever made. Only film that's ever made me cry with laughter in a cinema.

2. Pulp Fiction
Brilliant dialogue. Excellent and orginal time-sequencing.

3. The blues brothers
Great music, great dialogue, etc. etc.

4. The rocky horror picture show
Must see cinema experience. A tribute and piss-take on 50's horror and sci-fi films. Brilliant songs too.

5. Soylent green
From a time when films didn't need to end all happy and mushy. Well, this one ends a bit mushy, in a sense.

6. Dr. Strangelove
Brilliant satire. And very up-to-date, despite it's age.

7. Star Wars: revenge of the Sith
Basically this is the best of the 6. And the most violent. It's really quite horrible. Star Wars a new hope should be in the top ten, but that's just sentimental value speaking.

8. Full Metal Jacket
Maybe just the first half, but the rest is quite good too.

9. Grease
Brilliant music. And the co-stars steal the show (something which doesn't happen often enough).

10. The great escape
Best war film ever.


I reckon, looking at my top 10, there are a lot of musical-films in there because they're easier to watch over and over again.

However, films like:
The Godfather (parts I and II)
On the waterfront
Jaws
Back to the future
Die hard with a vengeance (part III)
The killing fields
Snatch
One flew over the cuckoo's nest (which incidently is a brilliant book too)
12 angry men
Robin Hood, prince of thieves (bad guy out-playing the good guy)
Ed Wood (way better than the guy's films themselves)
What's eating Gilbert Grape
Boogie nights

Deserve a mention too.

My memory for film ... celluloid moths. Anyway --

Pan's Labyrinth
The Proposition
Withnail & I
Labyrinth
Being John Malkovich
Dangerous Liaisons

...

The Censor won't let me remember any more. Happy Monday!

Hows about 'Fight Club'? That was one whacked up film.

[i]Like so many others I had become slave to the IKEA nesting instinct. I'd flip through catalogues and wonder 'what kind of dining set defines me as a person?'

2. The Bourne Ultimatum
3. Man on Fire
4. The Dark Knight
5. Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith
6. Blades of Glory
7. Lord of the Rings Trilogy
8. Batman Begins
9. Little Miss Sunshine

I can tell what movie really sucked and did not live up to it's expectations in my opinion > Batman - The Dark Knight .

Everyone is a critic. It don't make me right.
